Hey just wanted to let you know, that I fixed the problem with the gear indicator being stuck in reverse, It might be a good thing to let people know, that when you are pulling the harness off of the connector for the sensor, To be careful that you may release the adjustment for the shifter cable itself, It can really confuse you, if you didn't realize you hit it by accident, But anyway the truck shifts fine, and the indicator lines up perfect, Just want to say Thank you for all the replies going back and forth,

I had this same issue, would clear the code and within 3 min come straight back and put me in limp mode, changed the solenoid pack, with a remanufactured one, came back cleared the code and was gone for months and months drove awesome. Just the other day I put it into gear, it hit hard and went straight to limp mode, hooked up my tuner and same thing, p0750 solenoid a. Clear the code and it comes back within a few minutes. Ordered a oem mopar solenoid pack so hopefully it’s a faulty remanufactured solenoid pack. My new pack kit will be in next week. Fingers crossed any suggestions will help. Fluid levels n all are perfect.

It's very odd that the same solenoid code has set with the reman part but possibly you got a defective unit. Other than inspecting the harness from the PCM to the transmission and checking pin drag can't suggest much. Have you tested anything such as solenoid resistances?

Thanks for the repair video, I have a question, you said to be careful about the detent for the shifter and valve body, I had the 750 code, so I replaced the shift solenoid But now I notice that the shifter read reverse no matter where you shift it, Have you had that same issue, And is it possible that, it didn't match up when I installed it, would that infact cause that problem, I thought that it would go right into place, Thank you

Hi, I’m starting to follow your video on the solenoid replacement. Can’t seem to unplug it up on top of the transmission. Any suggestions?
@PhillipBailey5 ай бұрын
It's a latched connector with a red or grey secondary lock. It needs to be unlocked then the lever flipped up to remove. It tends to get sand on it. Use compressed air to clean the dirt out. Gently pulling upwards on the connector as you lift the release lever helps. Good luck

So what happens at 3:44? How do you get it to line up correctly... you just skipped the main part I came here to learn how to do. And earlier in the vid you mention something about the shifter and making sure it's in "Park" did i hear wrong? How do i make sure i'm putting it in correctly? What happens if i dont
@PhillipBailey8 ай бұрын
If I remember correctly there are two small alignment dowels on the solenoid body that have to line up to the main valve body. the park lever is the manual valve that must engage the pin in the fork. I don't believe you can assemble it without engaging the fork correctly. If you could it would not likely come out of park.

I took my truck in to be inspected and it failed for (shift solenoid A malfunction) I cannot afford the quote from the mechanic I want to do it myself should I just replace the whole solenoid?
@PhillipBailey3 жыл бұрын
Just cause it's generating a code for the solenoid does not guarantee the solenoid is at fault. It likely is but the problem could also be wiring between the transmission and PCM. It's a fairly expensive job parts and labour. Whether you can do it yourself depends and your skill level. You will need an inch pound torque wrench to torque the valvebody bolts.

Check the wiring between the transmission and PCM closely. If this is the exact same code you had with the original solenoid pack it's highly unlikely to get a defective new part with the exact same problem.

I have the same issue but this is a 2012 Dodge Ram do you think it's the same part the code is the same
@PhillipBailey4 жыл бұрын
Hello and thanks for your interest in my channel. The code is caused by an electrical failure of the solenoid or the wiring. A broken wire to the transmission connector could cause it. You need the measure the specific solenoid resistance at the plug going into the transmission. Unfortunately this is a pita due to its location. Has there been any work done ie engine or transmission removal where the harness could have been moved? Is the problem current ie code comes back as soon as you start it. I'd say it's 60% solenoid pack, 35% wiring and 5% computer. If the solenoid pack was cheaper if say just replace it but that's an expensive flip of the coin. Sorry wish I could help more.
